You need to be registered to practise as an osteopath. Registered osteopaths focus on the musculoskeletal system and its interaction with the rest of the body to improve health and well-being and can use the protected title of osteopath.
There are five different types of registration offered to practitioners:
- general
- provisional
- limited
- non-practising
- student.
There is one endorsement for acupuncture available for osteopaths with additional qualifications and expertise.
